Indigestion

What is Indigestion?

Indigestion which is also known as dyspepsia is a wide description of many stomach aliments. Conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, bloating and gastritis usually fall under the indigestion umbrella. In essence, indigestion is a result of taking in many spicy and tough foods too quickly. The acids on the stomach become temporarily irritated and the burning liquids may get send back into the esophagus. This often leads to a burning sensation near the heart, where the pain is called heartburn.

Symptoms

In addition to heartburn, you may also experience:

• Burning or pain in your upper stomach area
• Nausea
• Bloating
• Uncontrollable burping
• Acidic taste
• Vomiting

Causes

Indigestion can be triggered by a number of things such as a disease or ulcer in the digestive tract. Often times eating spicy of fatty foods too quickly also contributes to indigestion. Smoking, use of certain medications or drinking too much alcohol sometimes irritates the stomach making indigestion worst.. Other common causes for indigestion include:

• Cholecystitis- which is the inflammation of the gallbladder
• Gastric Ulcer
• Antibiotics
• Chronic or acute pancreatitis
• Helicobacter Pylori - Helicobacter Pylori is a bacterium which is found in the mucus layer of the stomach that often times causes irritation. Although it is reported that most of the population carry this bug, a small portion of the people who are affected by it will possibly develop stomach cancer.

Treatment

Some people can eat anything and never have an upset stomach or indigestion, however avoiding fast foods and processed foods will definitely alleviate any discomfort you might experiencing.

Smoking - Nicotine in tobacco relaxes the esophageal sphincter who enables acid getting back into the esophagus, so by cutting back or eliminating it completely you are preventing heartburn and acid reflux that tend to cause indigestion.

Colon Cleansing - Peppermint is found to be effective in decreasing upper intestinal spasms, stimulating bile flow, alleviate stomach inflammation, and contributing to stomach secretions. Slippery Elm Bark helps form a protective layer in the stomach, relieving gas or stomach cramps from indigestion. Apple cider vinegar helps lower stomach acid, and aid in stomach irritation. Other ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Acidophilus, and Garlic, just to name a few also aid in alleviating or even preventing symptoms of indigestion.
